9 Heart in Turmoil

Sofya was standing by one of the round tables in the middle of the room, chatting animatedly to her colleagues. She was dressed in simple blue jeans, pinkcrop top which revealed her bare shoulders & slim waist and black high heels. Her long wavy hair was tied up in a high pony tail and the only make up she had on was a little glass on the lips and eyeliner. Her black oval eyes were shining brightly combined with little heart shaped earrings and a silver lining bracelet.

Even though she was dressed casually for the occasion, she looked dazzling.

Advay made a beeline for Sofya, leaving Arnav rooted to the spot. He stared at her for quite a time, his eyes darkening, then making a U-turn, headed for the mini bar. His heart was in turmoil.

" Umm.. Miss Sofya? " A hesitant voice sounded right behind her.

Sofya turned towards the sound, her eyes landing on Advay. Even though she had never met Advay before & he was not a prominent figure in the industry, she still recognized him.

" Advay Singh Raizada! " She replied with a smile, eyeing him from top to bottom. He had also inherited the same good looks as Arnav.

She excused herself from her colleagues & came towards him, " How are you? "

" You know me? " Advay was so excited to meet her that he had a hard time believing he was actually meeting her in person. It was like a dream come true.

Sofya laughed. Her laugh was like chiming of the bells. " Of course I know you, you are my future bro-in-law. How's life & college? Do you have a girlfriend? " She asked winking.

Advay blushed. He had not imagined that she was such an easy going person, but then again, all people were not Arnav. They started talking normally and she would laugh occasionally, throwing back her head, her pony tail whipping through the air.

" By the way, these paintings are just great, even for a beginner. Susan is quite talented. " Advay complimented, looking around at the large boards hanging on the wall.

" Thank you! But maybe you should compliment the painter & not me. " Sofya answered pointedly. " Have you met Susan? "

Advay shook his head. He had only heard about her but not seen her in person.

" Come, I will introduce you. " Sofya beckoned.
